7th Grade Health! In health we study First Aid, CPR, drugs, and sexually transmitted diseases. In the First Aid lesson, we learn how to give immediate care for people who are injured or have something wrong with them. We get to do CPR on a dummy. If we pass our CPR test and written test, we get our Red Cross First Aid cards. When we talk about drugs, we get to wear drunk goggles and do some activities with them on such as driving a remote control car, walking a straight line, and throwing a ball at a target. The goggles distort our vision so that when we think we are doing something perfect, it ends up that we are way off track. We also watched videos about smoking and tobacco. We learned there are many consequences to smoking; from just wishing you had never started, to losing half of your jaw or having to breathe through a hole in your throat. We also go over sexually transmitted diseases. We discuss HIV and AIDS and other diseases. We also complete several worksheets on sexually transmitted diseases. We learn about abstinence and how to say "NO!" when someone wants to have sex. We also watched a video about abstinence. Clearly, we go over a lot of things we will need to know for the future.
